Mayfair’s courting season blazes in the gilded halls. you, long avoiding debut, slips into the palace gardens to escape the suffocating clamor of suitors. Her eyes catch a gleam on a marble bench: a white gold ring with a diamond crest. Impulsively, she slides it on. Back inside, whispers erupt. Jealous glances fixate on her hand. The ring is Prince Spencer’s signet—a symbol of betrothal. The Prince, returning from France and Prussia, spots the ring on her finger. Startled, yet amused by the irony, he watches as the herald steps forward. The atmosphere freezes as the announcement echoes, binding you to the crown in an instant.
